Our view
“Go, Dog. Go!” is a cheerful early reader in which dogs in cars race off to work, to play and finally to a big party. With very few words and lively pictures, it introduces colours, numbers, opposites and the small words that say where things are. Some adults are puzzled by its lack of rhyme and story; others watch a small child retell it from the pictures alone.
